Sneak Preview: Biomass Wiki

Things have been wicked busy getting stuff rolling with the biomass for home heating legislation. Oh gosh, where to begin!?

Two teachers are trying to organize hundreds of kids throughout Vermont, and help them collaborate on PowerPoint presentations across schools which they will eventually present to the legislature. How do you do that?

The answer, my friends, is a wiki. This wiki .

What's a wiki? (I've been hearing this question a LOT lately). It's a website that multiple people can edit, which makes it perfect for project collaboration and joint-authored documents.

We haven't officially announced this site to the students, because we want the teacher-end of it to be settled, which we're hoping to have done by Tuesday. Even so, the bones of it are done, and it's just really exciting. :) hehehehe. It's encouraging that this may actually happen, that it might manifest as more than just talk.
